What Was I Thinking!!?!?!

I had big plans to renovate the kids bedrooms upstairs this summer! My plan was to empty everything from upstairs, rip out the carpet (since it bothers Christopher's skin), paint the walls in both rooms, install hardwood flooring throughout the upstairs and then decorate the kids rooms according to their wishes.

With our trip to Pennsylvania, the kids trip to SC, swimming lessons, camp, and playdates, when have I had time do to anything upstairs!?!? UGH!! So far I emptied all their 'stuff' from their room--just not their beds. Today I started to rip up the carpet while they were at camp. It's not going to be a bad job, I just need to find the time to do it...

What was I thinking!?!? This is sooooo not a job for the summer!

Wish me luck!!!

Project Completed!!!

For those of you who have been to our home in the past six months you know that we've been trying to find the time to finish remodeling our downstairs bathroom! The project is finally complete!! YIPPPEEE! The kids are happy so they don't have to run upstairs to go to the bathroom anymore. We have been living, since March, with our downstairs bathroom pretty much gutted except for the tub and shower--that we had done by BathFitters in May 2005--that's another blog all in itself!! Since May the new vanity, sink, and mirror have been in the dining room with the floor tiles and grout etc. in the hallway. Now, EVERYTHING is in the bathroom and functioning!!! YIPPEE!

Thanks PePe for coming over and giving Shaun a hand!

Thanks MeMe for keeping the kids busy!
